Looks as if it was custom designed for me and my Loft furnishingsI debated whether to purchase this product and from where. After looking at the web sites and reading reviews I knew it was for me and from YLighting. However, didn't realize until it was next to my sofa how beautiful it really is. After receiving the package, it was very easy to put together and then attach the floor support which I'll give in the next review. The quality is fine and the colour I chose - white is actually cream. This looks better in my Loft with a clotted cream colour sofa by Minotti. The product is quite heavy and YLighting went out of there way to make sure I received it in a timely manner. Thanks YLighting.

Still Crazy (About it) After All These YearsWhen I was a student, I fell in love with the Tizio lamp when I saw it in a collection at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. At the end of my studies, instead of spending the graduation check on travel or a working wardrobe, I bought the lamp in black and have admired it on my desk for decades. This year, two colleagues whom I admire greatly both elected to go off to other adventures. I selected this lamp both for its beautiful function and for the intergenerational moment it represents. Theirs are silver -- not sure they might prefer the black, but no matter. It remains an icon of life on the verge of breaking out!

Hi...Your company is great. You have excellent service, but the Tizio product is becoming inferior. I have purchased 3 Tizio lamps from you, and two of them have become defective in less then a year of use. Ther base electronics stops working properly. I attempted to have one repaired and had no success. I still ave one brolem lamp. It is a shame that a manufacturer after so many years decides to cut costs and build an inferior products. Ihave purchaed a least a dozen lamps over the years and just recently has the proct been bad.

Disappointed!!As someone who owns earlier models of this lamp, I am very disappointed in the overall balance of this newer version it simply doesn't move as fluidly as my older models. Maybe this is a lemon or like every thing else these days that's more expensive and seems to be of a lesser quality. This newer lamp uses a 50 watt bulb, which produces much less light compared to the earlier model that use an 55 watt bulb, who would think that 5 watts would make such a difference!!!

Perfect blend of form and function - favorite lighting instrumentGreat light source (hi and lo beam, directional but not too narrowly focused), highly functional design (easy to manipulate, accommodates very diverse configurations), timeless beauty (elegant yet masculine, beautiful proportions and scale) extraordinary quality (very durable construction and finish). I bought my first 25 years ago and have used it daily as a desk lamp. It's still like new. I've since bought two more for myself and several for friends.

love it, one thing to considerthis lamp is beautiful and beautifully made. joints all very fluid and swivel + hinge joints allow you to point the light in any direction. only thing to consider is how much direct light you need versus ambient light. it's excellent with task lighting but if you want to light a whole room it only has a more 'spotlight' effect. and thus produces harsh shadows. even so, the shadows are kinda cool. would definitely recommend in general.

A True ClassicEveryone should have at least one of these fixtures; either in their home or office or both. Its no wonder that thiis fixture is in the Museum of Modern Art, The Tizio is a true classic. Its simple lines and counterweight design work perfectly in any decor from a traditional to a more modern look. Purchase this fixture for today and recieve years of delight everytime you adjust its position and turn it on off.

Exceptional!! Bought all outdoor lighting from Y Lighting when I built my house..now continue to add to the selection.I had a Tizio years ago when they first came out. Decided to purchase from YLighting as I had nothing but a wonderful experience with them when I purchased lighting during my home construction. Once again, quick service, expertly packaged and a pleasure to do business with them. They also have the best in contemporary lighting!! Difficult if not impossible to find locally or even online!

My Tizio base has a support stand that is screwed into the base bottom. This stand keeps the base upright. The stand has started to disintegrate and I would like to replace that part. Can anyone supply that part? Does anyone know where to get it?

I have the Classic, have had it 10+ years, great for my wife's sewing table as the arm reaches everywhere. Question as to where can I get a light bulb as the one in the unit burnt out? 12V 55W 64150 37R-00380 ARE THE #S ON THE BULB HOLDER.

Asked by: littlet

So glad that this fixture has been a favorite for you for quite some time! We do not sell bulbs alone for any of our fixtures, so typically we refer our clients to one of our partner sites 1000bulbs.com to order replacement bulbs. We ourselves refer to this site all the time to compare bulb options. This fixture features a 50W 12V GY6.35 halogen bulb, which you can find by checking out the site.
Should you require some additional clarification beyond this and would like to speak to a product specialist directly, feel free to give us a call anytime at 866.842.6209 and we can assist you. Thanks for contacting us!
